In this paper, a low-complexity angle-delay parameters estimation(ADPE) algorithm was put forward for wideband mmWave systems with uniform planar arrays(UPAs). In particular, the ADPE algorithm effectively decouples the angle-delay parameters and converts the angle-delay estimation problem into three independent subproblems. Accordingly, the ability to devise an off-grid method based on discrete Fourier transform(DFT) with a closed-form solution for angle-delay estimation and potential path number acquisition can be realized. In actuality, only a limited number of potential paths are close to the true paths influenced by noise. Consequently, the removal of noise paths to acquire the corresponding true path gains through a sparsity adaptive path gains estimation(APGE) algorithm is postulated. Finally, the simulation results substantiate the effectiveness of ADPE and APGE algorithms.展开更多

However, traditional ch...The fifth-generation (5G) communication requires a highly accurate estimation of the channel state information (CSI)to take advantage of the massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system. However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.展开更多

In this paper, an enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm is proposed to enhance the system throughput and data rate. With lower pilot power, the proposed scheme increases system throughput firstly, and then the channel estimation and symbol detection proceed iteratively within one OFDM symbol to improve the BER performance. In the proposed algorithm, the original channel estimate of each OFDM symbol is based on the channel estimate of the previous OFDM symbol, thus the variation of the mobile channel is traced efficiently, so the number of pilots in the time domain can be reduced greatly. Besides reducing the system overhead, the proposed algorithm is also shown by simulation to give much better BER performance than the conventional iterative algorithm does.展开更多

According to the six channel profiles of the European Telecommunication Standards Institute（ETSI） digital radio mondiale （DRM） standard, the subspace pursuit （SP） algorithm is employed for delay spread and attenuation estimation of each path in the case where the channel profile is identified and the multipath number is known. The stop condition for SP is that the sparsity of the estimation equals the multipath number. For the case where the multipath number is unknown, the orthogonal matching pursuit （OMP） algorithm is employed for channel estimation, while the stop condition is that the estimation achieves the noise variance. Simulation results show that with the same number of pilots, CS algorithms outperform the traditional cubic-spline-interpolation-based least squares （LS） channel estimation. SP is also demonstrated to be better than OMP when the multipath number is known as a priori.展开更多

For simplicity, a one-dimensional autoregressive （AR） process is used to model the time-varying channel, and the least square （LS） algorithm based on pilot signals is adopted to track the time-varying channel fading factor a. The low-dimensional Kalman filter estimator greatly reduces the complexity of the high-dimensional Kalman filter. To utilize the relationship of fading channel in frequency domain, a minimum mean-square-error （MMSE） combiner is used to refine the estimation results. The simulation results in the frequency band of 5.5 GHz show that the proposed method achieves a good symbol error rate （SER） performance close to the theoretical bound of ideal channel estimation.展开更多

文摘The fifth-generation (5G) communication requires a highly accurate estimation of the channel state information (CSI)to take advantage of the massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) system. However, traditional channel estimation methods do not always yield reliable estimates. The methodology of this paper consists of deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)neural network-based method that is used to solve this problem.Thus, the channel estimation approach, based on DRSN with its learning ability of noise-containing data, is first introduced. Then,the DRSN is used to train the noise reduction process based on the results of the least square (LS) channel estimation while applying the pilot frequency subcarriers, where the initially estimated subcarrier channel matrix is considered as a three-dimensional tensor of the DRSN input. Afterward, a mixed signal to noise ratio (SNR) training data strategy is proposed based on the learning ability of DRSN under different SNRs. Moreover, a joint mixed scenario training strategy is carried out to test the multi scenarios robustness of DRSN. As for the findings, the numerical results indicate that the DRSN method outperforms the spatial-frequency-temporal convolutional neural networks (SF-CNN)with similar computational complexity and achieves better advantages in the full SNR range than the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimator with a limited dataset. Moreover, the DRSN approach shows robustness in different propagation environments.
文摘For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication, the system throughput and data rate are usually limited by pilots, especially in a high mobility environment. In this paper, an enhanced iterative joint channel estimation and symbol detection algorithm is proposed to enhance the system throughput and data rate. With lower pilot power, the proposed scheme increases system throughput firstly, and then the channel estimation and symbol detection proceed iteratively within one OFDM symbol to improve the BER performance. In the proposed algorithm, the original channel estimate of each OFDM symbol is based on the channel estimate of the previous OFDM symbol, thus the variation of the mobile channel is traced efficiently, so the number of pilots in the time domain can be reduced greatly. Besides reducing the system overhead, the proposed algorithm is also shown by simulation to give much better BER performance than the conventional iterative algorithm does.

文摘A pilot pattern across two orthogonal frequency division multiplexing OFDM symbols with a special structure is designed for the channel estimation of OFDM systems with inphase and quadrature IQ imbalances at the receiver.A high-efficiency time-domain TD least square LS channel estimator and a low-complexity frequency-domain Gaussian elimination GE equalizer are proposed to eliminate IQ distortion.The former estimator can significantly suppress channel noise by a factor N/L＋1 over the existing frequency-domain FD LS where N and L＋1 are the total number of subcarriers and the length of cyclic prefix and the proposed GE requires only 2N complex multiplications per OFDM symbol.Simulation results show that by exploiting the TD property of the channel the proposed TD-LS channel estimator obtains a significant signal-to-noise ratio gain over the existing FD-LS one whereas the proposed low-complexity GE compensation achieves the same bit error rate BER performance as the existing LS one.

文摘In order to reduce the pilot number and improve spectral efficiency, recently emerged compressive sensing （CS） is applied to the digital broadcast channel estimation. According to the six channel profiles of the European Telecommunication Standards Institute（ETSI） digital radio mondiale （DRM） standard, the subspace pursuit （SP） algorithm is employed for delay spread and attenuation estimation of each path in the case where the channel profile is identified and the multipath number is known. The stop condition for SP is that the sparsity of the estimation equals the multipath number. For the case where the multipath number is unknown, the orthogonal matching pursuit （OMP） algorithm is employed for channel estimation, while the stop condition is that the estimation achieves the noise variance. Simulation results show that with the same number of pilots, CS algorithms outperform the traditional cubic-spline-interpolation-based least squares （LS） channel estimation. SP is also demonstrated to be better than OMP when the multipath number is known as a priori.
文摘Based on the transform-domain characteristics of pilot signals,a band suppression filter is used as a transform-domain filter to restrain the interference of noise in channel estimation.The performance effect on channel estimation for an orthogonal frequency division multiplex （OFDM） system by different energy coefficients in the transform domain and the energy coefficient under the different signal-to-noise ratios （SNR） are also analyzed.A new energy coefficient expression is deduced.It is theoretically proven that dynamically selecting an energy coefficient can significantly improve the performance of channel estimation.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve better performance close to the theoretic bounds of perfect channel estimation. The algorithm is adapted to single-input single-output （SISO） OFDM and multi-input multi-output （MIMO） OFDM systems.
文摘Under analyzing several characteristics of frequency-selective fast fading channels, such as large Doppler spread and multi-path interference, a low-dimensional Kalman filter method based on pilot signals is presented for the channel estimation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems. For simplicity, a one-dimensional autoregressive （AR） process is used to model the time-varying channel, and the least square （LS） algorithm based on pilot signals is adopted to track the time-varying channel fading factor a. The low-dimensional Kalman filter estimator greatly reduces the complexity of the high-dimensional Kalman filter. To utilize the relationship of fading channel in frequency domain, a minimum mean-square-error （MMSE） combiner is used to refine the estimation results. The simulation results in the frequency band of 5.5 GHz show that the proposed method achieves a good symbol error rate （SER） performance close to the theoretical bound of ideal channel estimation.
文摘In order to increase the transmission efficiency,a subspace-based algorithm for blind channel estimation using second-order statistics is proposed in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.Because the transmission equation of OFDM systems does not exactly have the desired structure to directly derive a subspace algorithm,the algorithm first divides the OFDM signals into three parts,then,by exploiting the redundancy introduced by the cyclic prefix (CP) in OFDM signals,a new equation with Toeplitz channel matrix is derived.Based on the equation,a new blind subspace algorithm is developed.Toeplitz structure eases the derivation of the subspace algorithm and practical computation.Moreover the algorithm does not change the existing OFDM system,is robust to channel order overdetermination,and the channel zero locations.The performances are demonstrated by simulation results.
